Witty and well-cast, What We Did on Our Holiday injects unlikely laughs into a story dealing with dark, difficult themes.

Do we want to spend 95 minutes of our summer holiday watching a film about a young, squabbling, dysfunctional British family on a sham trip? Yes, we do. Jul 13, 2015 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

It's not what you'd call "major" cinema, but it's a breezy entertainment, particularly if you're a fan of one or more of the cast members. Jul 10, 2015 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Underfoot is a cast of young kids given too many cutesy moments and one-liners. In the middle of it all are actors like Rosamund Pike and David Tennant. Jul 9, 2015 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…

There are a few amusing moments and flashes of charm but this Holiday is an uneven trip, with underwritten adult characters and a strange third act involving a poke at misguided social services. Jul 9, 2015 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

Outnumbered fans will find more enjoyment out of it than non-fan cinemagoers, but not enough to warrant heading to the big screen for the experience. Feb 6, 2017 | Full Review…

What We Did On Our Holiday just doesn't do or say that much, and what it does accomplish is fine at best. Oh, we should all be nicer to each other? That's the whole point of this disjointed thing? Yeah. OK. Jan 9, 2017 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

Luckily for us, and unlike their bickering and scripted parents, the kids are largely left to improvise their parts and the result is mostly charming, sometimes hilarious. Apr 26, 2016 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

This blandly titled comedy from the U.K. spends so much setup time being generically clever, it's truly unexpected when, a third of the way in, things heat up in oddball ways. Aug 25, 2015 | Full Review…

What could have had the potential to be a wonderfully EMBARRASSING, British chaos like "Death at a funeral" is a bit too cutesy with its children characters and apparently a tourism prospect for the Scottish highlands. Tennant and Pike remain a bit underchallenged, and the tone is hit and miss, trying to be dark and british and cute at the same time. Some gags still work pretty well and the ending is somewhat sweet, but there was a chance to achieve more than a TV movie here.
Super Reviewer
It was okay. The tone is very similar to the Outnumbered series even down to the three kids, but it isn't as good once they get to Scotland and the grandfather storyline. Meh. I'll acknowledge I am not the target audience. It's nice and plods along with some small smiles, but it wasn't really one for me.
